Do you own a Samsung TV? If your answer is yes, you will find this software incredibly useful. We always lose our remote controls, and it can be very frustrating to find them, as you most probably forgot where you put them. The TV Samsung Remote Control app turns your smartphone into a remote control for your Samsung TV. This multimedia app is simple to use and works with either a network connection or your phone’s infrared blaster. This means you can control your TV without needing the regular remote. You can use it on your Android device.

The app gives you two ways to control your TV: through Network IP control and Infrared (IR) control. Both methods support various Samsung TV models and work differently depending on your device.

With Network IP control, you can manage your TV over your WiFi connection. This feature works well with many Samsung TV models, except for the H and F models. To set it up, make sure your TV and phone are on the same WiFi network. Follow these steps:

  1. Turn on your TV.
  2. Connect both devices to the same WiFi.
  3. Turn off any privacy separator function on your router.
  4. You might need to manually enter your TV’s IP address.

If your TV asks you to confirm the connection, you might need to adjust the settings in the Device Connection Manager, found under the TV’s menu options. If your phone has an IR blaster, you can also use the IR control feature. This works by pointing your phone’s IR at the TV. Make sure you are within 10 feet of the TV. This method is straightforward but requires your phone to have an IR blaster.

The TV Samsung Remote Control app is handy, especially when you can’t find your regular remote or the batteries are dead. Here’s why it’s good:

  • Simple to Use: You don’t need to set up anything complicated; it’s ready to go.
  • Flexible: You can choose between network or IR controls based on what your phone supports.
  • Wide Compatibility: It supports a broad range of Samsung TVs and mobile devices.
  • Useful in Emergencies: Perfect for those times when your regular remote isn't available.

While the app is very useful, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Needs IR Blaster: To use the IR control, your phone must have an IR blaster.
  • Limited TV Model Support: Not all Samsung TV models are supported, especially the H and F models.

Not Official: 

This app isn’t officially supported by Samsung.

Bottom Line

The TV Samsung Remote Control app is a practical and easy-to-use solution for controlling your Samsung TV with your smartphone. It offers flexibility and convenience, making it a great backup for your regular remote.

Developer’s Description

By npe
With the app 'TV (Samsung) Remote Control' you can use your smartphone to control your Samsung TV over the local network and/or with IR (if your android has infrared port). You have 2 options: Network IP control (WiFi / WiFi Direct / LAN).Works with C, D, E, F, K and M (2016+) models, but not with H and F models.- Make sure the TV that you want to use is turned [On]- Make sure your mobile device and TV are connected to the same home network. If your router supports a privacy separator function, make sure it is disabled.- It is also possible to enter the TV's IP address manually. To find you TV's IP address go to TV: [Menu] → [Settings] → [Network] → [Network Status].If TV was found but after selecting the TV:- If you have refused the confirmation message on your TV ('accept device') you need to change your selection by going to:[Menu] → [General Settings] → [External Device Manager] → [Device Connection Manager] → [Device List] or with older TV models [Menu] → [Network] → [Expert Settings] → [Mobile Device Manager] or [Menu] → [Network] → [AllShare Settings].- You can disable the TV's ('accept device') screen by going to eg. [Menu] → [Settings General] → [External Device Manager] → [Device Connection Manager] and changing [Access Notification] -> 'First Time Only'.- If a PIN code is requested on your TV screen - sorry, but with this TV this app won't work :( Infrared (IR) control- This option works on phones and tablets with built-in IR blaster such as Samsung Galaxy S, HTC ONE, LG G3/G4/G5, Xiaomi Mi / Redmi / Note, Huawei Mate / Honor etc).- Tested with Samsung TV F and M models, but probably works also with others Samsung Smart TV-s build 2005 and later (if it does, then let us now and give feedback).- Please note that you must point your phone’s IR blaster directly at the TV. Usual working range is 4-10ft (1-3 meters, max ~5 meters).- With some phones in power saving mode or with almost empty battery the IR blaster might not work or range is less then 5ft (2 meters).The purpose is not to replace the original TV remote, but this app is handy in emergency situations (original remote is lost, empty batteries etc). It's ready to use (no need for pairing with the TV).If this app doesn't work with your phone or TV then feel free to e-mail me (your exact TV and phone model). Then I can try to add support for your phone or/and TV model.Disclaimer/Trademarks:This app is NOT affiliated with or endorsed by Samsung Group.
